Armed With
Sawed-Off
Shotgun
On an early Tueday morning
around 5 a.m. recently, a black man
entered the Pantry Convenience
Store at .3289 Avent Ferry Road and
asked the clerk for some cigarettes.
When the clerk turned back around,
the man had pulled a double-barreled
sawed-off shotgun.
The man left the store with all the
money from the cash register'. Police
are still searching for him.
Raleigh Crime Stoppers is asking
citizens with information about the
robbery to help by calling 834-HELP.
Anyone who calls Crime Stoppers
with helpful information may be eligi
ble lor $1,000 cash reward.
The suspect is described as 4$ yeem
ol*W tail. 210 pounds, with a deck:
complexion, full beard and mustache,
a close haircut and a bum spot on his
lips. He was wearing a tan
camouflage military fatigue shirt and
pants, and combat boots.
Callers to Crime Stoppes do not
have to identify themselves and can
receive an award anonymously.
Also, North Carolina’s crime rate is
up an overall nine percent, according
to statistics released by Attorney
General Lacy Thornburg recently.
The survey of crime trends shows
that reported crimes are up eight per
cent in the urban areas of North
Carolina and 10 percent in the rural
areas.
• v “At the same time as the crime
rate increases, we are seeing an in
crease in the number of arrests by
law enforcement officers. The police
officers and the sheriff's deputies are
doing a good job of clearing crimes
with arrests, and they are doing their
jobs in the face of an increased
challenge," Thornburg said.
Hie arrest rate for reported crime
is up eight percent, the crime report
shows. Arrest numbers increased the
most for the crimes of rape, robbery
and burglary.
Thornburg said that an increased
arrest ,rate, in the face of increased
crime,'demonstrates what law en
forcement officers can do when they
are given adequate resources.

Two unsung heroes from the
minority community will be honored
and three students each from Saint
Augustine's College and Shaw
University will receive $1,000 scholar
ships at the sixth annual “Bring Out
Your Best” awards banquet which is
scheduled for April 28.
Beginning with the fourth annual
awards two years ago. Capital Broad
casting Co., Inc., joined Harris
Wholesale, Inc., The CAROLINIAN
and WLLE radio as corporate spon
sors.
Through the awards program
started in 1983, the sponsors accept
nominations fti “quiet heroes" who
tirelessly make their mark, day-in
and day-out, too often without thanks.
Paul Jervay, Jr., associate
publisher or The CAROLINIAN, said.
“These are the people who work hard
but without recognition, and the reci
pients of the scholarships have to lx
residents of Wuke County. We want
these scholarships to serve as incen
tives to students to remain in tin1
county and tuke advantage of the
resources here,"
The ideu of “Bring Out Y<*ur Host"
began with a desire to recognise and
assist ureas in the black community
where voids existed. Jervay and
Willie Hunt, an employee of Harris
Wholesale, discussed it and Jervay
felt help was most needed in the area
of education. Evans said he wanted to
recognize people in the community
who made contributions in society but
received no recognition for them, so
Evans and Jervay decided to com
bine the two ideas.
In a story on the third annual
awards in 1985. Hunt said. “All too
oftr awards go to people in the com
munity who are in some way titled.
They are chairman of this or presi
dent of that. But we are looking for
those role models who impact the
community and do it because they
want to and look for no compensation
for it."

Teaching

An AMlynhi
As part of an innovative teaching
methodology, students have been en
couraged to develop specific projects
that relate to the general subject con
tent and objectives of social science
• courses at Shaw University. Ms.
Charlotte Rogers accomplished this
goal when she recently invited a
homeless woman to her class.
The response was outstanding. Not
only were the students riveted in on
what the homeless woman was
saying, but they inquired as to how
she made it on the streets. They
wanted to know about her motiva
tions, her goals, and her mistakes.
In turn, the lady spoke with dignity
about society’s attitude, the problems
of surviving on the streets, and her
expectations about the future.
